Breasts droop and lose their shape due to reasons such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, genetics and rapid weight gain. This negatively affects patients psychologically, along with a decrease in self-confidence.
With breast lift operations, it is possible for women to have erect and firmer breasts as desired.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation varies between 2-4 hours, depending on the degree of sagging of the breast and whether or not it needs plumping.
With this surgery, excess and sagging skin areas are removed and the breast tissue is lifted and plumped at the same time. In this filling, if the person's own tissue is not sufficient, silicone prostheses or fat injection methods are also used. At the same time, the enlarged and sagging nipple is brought to the place and size it should be.
In this surgery, scars are left at different rates depending on the degree of sagging on the nipple and towards the inframammary fold area. It should be known that there is no scar-free breast lift surgery. However, these scars become less obvious over time.
If the nipple does not droop down too much and there is a small amount of sagging with a lack of volume, a prosthesis is placed on this type of breasts and both breast fullness is provided and the breast is lifted.
Breastfeeding problems are very rare as the milk ducts in the breast are not very affected.
The patient is discharged on the day of surgery or after staying in the hospital overnight. Apart from the pain that decreases with painkillers on the first day, pain on other days is not an expected situation.
There are swelling and bruises around the breast, which usually lasts for 2 weeks. In some patients, drains are placed in the breast, which are usually removed after 1-2 days.
Sports bras are worn for 3-4 weeks after the operation. If the patient does not work in jobs that require heavy work, he continues to work after the third day. It is recommended to stay away from heavy exercise and work for about a month.
Breast lift surgeries are surgeries that can give a good image to the breast and give good results. However, it should not be forgotten that there may be some sagging after the surgery, due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, rapid weight gain and age, due to gravity.
